F1 25 has launched for PC and consoles with critical acclaim. The latest entry in the franchise brings path tracing to PC, which further increases the visual realism in the game. On top of that, the game is optimized well for all platforms. However, players would be happy about these optimizations if they could run the game, as they are unable to launch the game. PC users report that the game isn’t launching and shows the “EA account required” error. I have compiled a couple of fixes that will resolve the F1 25 EA account required error on your Windows PC.
F1 25 Account Required Error Fixes That’ll Help
PC users report that F1 25 isn’t launching when they click play, as the “EA account required” error message pops up. The following fixes will resolve the issue on your PC.
Fix #1 – Clear EA App Cache
Often, the cache in the EA app prevents games from connecting online, and this is the reason F1 25 is not launching on your PC and shows the “EA account required” error. You can fix the error by clearing the app cache, and here is how:
- Open the EA app and click the menu icon (three stacked lines) at the top left.
- Hover the mouse over “Help”, and click the “App Recovery” option.
- Click the “Clear cache” button on the small window that pops up.
- Launch F1 25, and the “EA account required” error is now fixed.
Fix #2 – Unplug all USB Devices
Based on community feedback on Steam, unplugging all the unnecessary USB devices, excluding your mouse and keyboard, fixes the account required error in F1 25. Unplug all the devices, launch the game, and it’ll work without crashing on startup.
